Everyone has character flaws and special gifts. Do they all come from God? What is your purpose in life: to do good things or merley follow the crowd regardless of it's path and concequence?

I was a Christian and the post I have seen here make me feel sorry I was one , they have confirmed my choice, I now do not belong to any religion even if I believe in God. Has anyone changed from one belief to another if so why ?or WHAT life experience brought you to that path? THANK YOU

I'm having a hard time lately. When they cause so much suffering with their stances on stem cell research and equal rights for same-sex couples I have anger. I've seen so much psychological pain wrought with their horrible and warped sick rantings about hell and judgement. The deluded use of god and judgement as a projected mechanism for attack knows no bounds. And the infantile, ego-based morality and spirituality that is based on the selfish mechanism of reward and punishment is mind-boggling; they can't even fathom morality or spirituality without a system based on reward and punishment! I'm ranting because I'm tired of these minds that are brick walls.

Is there some common ground upon which I can remain congenial and respectful to those with more evangelical views without having
to shout at one another or resort to name calling.

This is my question -

If a religious fundamentalist believes that homosexuality is a choice and also that it is unnatural, it may pose an ethics question for them later on...

If scientists are able to alter the hormonal chemistry or DNA of an unborn child to prevent the presence of "the gay gene" - would religious fundamentalists support this procedure?

Because anyone who supports this procedure would be then be admitting that
a) God makes mistakes
b) homosexuality is a natural occurance
c) doctors are authorized to "play God"

This question is not meant to offend anyone - no matter what their beliefs.... I really just want to know (if this became a reality) if fundamentalists would find it more pertinent to "tamper with nature to fit the book" or if they would "accept that God has his reasons and leave well enough alone"....

Every single other reference in the Matthew that refers to a "generation" refers to the generation in which matthew was written. For example, Matthew 12:39, where Jesus calls that generation evil, or Matthew 17:17, where Jesus calls that generation "perverse" (there are several others...) So, why is it that we assume the generation he talks about in Matt 24:34 is different then the one he spent the entire gospel of Matthew talking about? Plus, in Matt 24:7, Jesus didn't say there would be MORE wars, famines, and earthquakes, he simply said there WOULD BE those things. So, even if there are increasing numbers today, that doesn't mean anything because Jesus didn't say there would be more of them. So why is it that so many people believe that "this generation" refers to our generation (especially since so many people in the past have predicted when Jesus was going to come, and none of them were right....).

The FSM predates all.
Because his Gospel says so.


Can anyone provide evidence to prove me wrong?

Everyday I strive to make the world a little better for others. Positive actions can consist of simply saying thank you, to holding the door open for someone, to simply complimenting someone else. However, in my daily life, especially since i'm in highschool, I see more negative actions of insults, lies, anger, and frustration. Everyday I see people clearly in pain who are just passed by. Maybe it's just me, I try to do what I can, but I'm just one person.

I'm sure you get asked this alot, but I haven't seen the answers for myself and therefore wanted to hear the views of others.

If you believe that the bible is the right words and true word of God, then why has it been altered? Why has it not stayed 100% pure? Also, how do you know which bits have been altered by man and which bits were sayings of God? Where's your certainty?

This is to the Christians and it is a genuine questions, thanks.

I just wanted to express my feelings on this thing we call life. It is totally myterious to me and i every day question both sides of the coin. I strongly belive that frrom nothing you cant have something. Thats science!! In a vacuum nothing exsists. thats what this "place" was. then which noone has the answer to came this thing we call the universe. wether it was "god" or other means NOONE I MEAN NOONE WILL HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT!!! What happens to us when we die is a non proven fact just thoughts. I guess you can say that I wonder why the "human race was made and if nothing ever happened to make all of us then we would never have exsisted!!! Nothing would have exsisted!! No universe no planets no nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me think every day. People that believe in god just sit down and REALLY think about it i know its hard because youve been taught to believe in this thing that noone has ever seen just read about it a book.

The Code predates the OT bible by centuries, and concerns the god Ea, not the Judeo-Christian god.

Looks like marriage has been around a LOT longer than Judaism or Christianity.

Looks like Ea gets credit for creating marriage!
ALL HAIL EA!!!!

Saying they have been saying it's going to happen forever, and
it hasn't happened? And THEN the END will come!
Look around you! RECORD highs, RECORD lows, RECORD
hurricanes, RECORD snows.
But things are the same as they've always been? RIGHT?
FEAR is the ENEMY my friends. But there is nothing to FEAR
but FEAR itself!
